    Yes, they remove numbers from PET. I think it is generally when existing stock is gone.
  2. Loren
    Could be they discontinued that number and it is not longer available. If you wanted new ones I'm sure you would need to order the 996... number (with the color code).

    Well it sure looks like a bad sensor... Here are (good) readings on my car. First with ambient light in my garage And, then with a small flashlight pointed at the sensor
  4. Loren
    The individual button (4 in the diagram) can be used to dim the instrument and switch brightness by hand when the vehicle lighting is switched on. If that does not work it could be your sensor. The only test I am aware of for the sensor requires a PST2 (or PIWIS) tester - then if the sensor is bad you have to replace the whole cluster.

    986.561.607.00 (LH) and 986.561.608.00 (RH) don't come up anywhere in my list. 986 561 307 00 A09(LH) and 986 561 608 00 A09 (RH) were the hinges for the Boxster.

    A MY01 Boxster cluster is the newer type and quite different from the pre MY01 cars - apples and oranges. Here is the cluster arrangement for a MY99 Boxster (from the service manual): Item 10 - Q is the check engine light (CEL) - it will light up solid if there is an emissions fault. If there is an emissions fault that could damage the catalytic convertors then it will flash. The car should not be driven if the CEL is flashing. There is no "CAT" light.

    You will need a resistor between the two wires... I think someone told me 100 ohms.

    Most common problems are a loose or disconnected cable in the back of the unit. Has the unit been out or moved lately?
  9. Loren
    All are Porsche parts so theoretically you could order them all individually. I suspect that would be a higher cost than Gert's price (in USD). Carnewal.com is very good at putting these packages together and standing behind them. Items I have order from them have arrived at my doorstep in 2-3 days - every time.
  10. Loren
    Try the process here.

    Here is what someone sent me (quite a while ago). I haven't tried everything but most of it seems correct.

    I sent you a PM...

    I sent it to you in a PM...

    Go to Carnewal.com click on Exterior then on P55 Turbo Front Bumper Package.

    I think it is held on with metal U-clips. Just pull them off, and put the new chin spoiler on and push them back on.
  17. Loren
    My older TSBs are filed by the year they were published. Do you know what year 9613 was published?
  18. Loren
    Just to set the record straight... I was not banned from PPBB (to my knowledge) I simply stopped going there. Mainly because the admins there deleted (what I deemed as helpful) messages. After a series of email exchanges the admins there still could not tell why my messages were deleted - they were not commercial, not did I post links to other sites, nor did I flame anyone or any business. After they did the same to several other friends - I simply stopped going there. No animosity - I just don't need that.

    :rolleyes:
  20. Loren
    Not yet... it just showed up in the dealers distribution memo today.
  21. Loren
    Don't foget the vent line...

    Orange cover is on the positive side.

    I sent you a PM...

    ^^^ Regional Concours winner! It really is that clean (and shiny).
  25. Loren
    I don't know how many miles on your car but unless it is new I would replace the gaskets. I would also replace the nuts as I think they are self crimping - so once they've been taken off and put back on they can loosen. The gaskets retail for about $25 each and the nuts are $3 each. Also, as I recall a local guy did this and one or more of the studs (through the turbo and the muffler) snapped off - with all the heat down there I don't think that is too rare. So, you might want to be ready for that occurrence. It would likely make it a bit easier with the bumper off... I think it all depends on your wrench (spanner?) assortment. Good Luck!
